Ubuntu :: How To Turn Off Apple Mode In 11.04
May 18, 2011I've upgraded to 11.04 and now my desktop environment sucks (it's just as useless as an Apple desktop environment, should I report a bug?).
How do I restore normal functionality?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Turn Old IMac 350 Mhz Into JukeBox
Jun 24, 2011I have this lovely iMac sitting in my cellar and I want to revive it. It's objectively beautiful and it has enough horsepower to become my jukebox. Its integrated audio is crystal clear and it has no fans: perfect. I have just one serious problem: I'd like to use it without mouse and keyboard. So what I'd need is a cool app to handle mp3s (with album art and the more cool stuff I can get) AND to be controlled from an Android phone. There's a lot of applications (songbird, xbmc, banshee, rythmbox, others) that have remote controller app on android market but I think they will not run on ppc in their latest versions. Any compiling from source succesfull experience / hints on my little project?

May 8, 2010I have an iBook G3 and about 4 months ago after Mac OSX was corrupted I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it. During the install the screen was divided and partly blacked out but when I installed it, the resolution was fine and the OS encompassed the whole screen.
After a few weeks everything on the screen started to turn pink until all the colours on the whole screen were a shade of pink! I decided that I would abandon my laptop as I had a fully functioning Ubuntu desktop which was my preferable computer to use anyway.
Following the release of Ubuntu 10.04 I decided that I would try a fresh install on my laptop. When I started the install I was disappointed to find that the screen was divided and everything was shaded pink. I went ahead with the install regardless hoping that everything would be fine once I installed Ubuntu. Once again I was let down, the screen was still divided and pink. I have included some pictures for you to have a look at.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Turn OFF Suspend Mode?
Feb 26, 2011Disclaimer: I have very little linux desktop experience...I've only used command line stuff for work in my previous life. I am joyfully coming off of a long addiction to MS but am having a bit of a hard time adjusting.
ISSUE: I can't seem to figure out how to turn off suspend mode. I have turned every setting I could find in the power management to "do nothing" and I have turned off all of my power mgmt options in the system bios. A "friend" suggested I remove HAL...which caused me to lose my secondary internal HD and all of my usb devices...and the issue persisted. Every 20 minutes of no action the screen blanks and my monitor goes into standby mode which is making watching movies in bed a less than relaxing experience.
Some background that may or may not be useful: I installed kubunutu 10.04 (2.6.32-28-generic) from cd on a fresh HD. Initially I had issues with the wireless network and alsa/pulse sound. I worked through those through much trial and error but the suspend issue persists. I've uninstalled and re-installed lots of packages I probably shouldn't have been messing with and would really like to avoid a reinstall as this seems to be the final fix I need to get things running the way I want them.

Fedora Security :: Turn Off Ordered Data Mode?
Dec 8, 2009I am currently trying to turn off ordered data mode for ext3 filesystem. I want to shred some files and apparently this won't work with journaling on.
I can't seem to find any good explanations of what exactly "ordered data" means in terms of data recovery/security...or at least none that are written in simple n00b terms. It is all written in terms of disk crashes and whether old data will mix in with the new. It doesn't say whether one's cousin will be able to poke around and find some thought-it-was-deleted porno if he's on the computer.
Can someone step me through the process of turning this off using tune2fs? (if that is the best way to do it!) Do I have to revert to ext2? Can I turn it back on later? Will I lose data (for example, does the drive need to be reformated?) once this change is made? And how does one find, read, and delete/shred the journal itself? Is "ordered data" even a real problem for data recovery?
Networking :: Active FTP Using Raw FTP Commands / Turn Off Passive Mode Using It?
Apr 1, 2009Can anybody have an idea of an ftp client code using raw ftp commands.
OR
Can anybody tell me how to turn off passive mode using raw ftp commands.
PASV is the command which turns on passive mode but there is no such alternative of active mode.
I have already tried using pasv_enable=NO in vsftpd.conf but that is not working.
General :: Turn Off Monitor (Energy Saving) While In Text Console Mode
Nov 3, 2010How to configure Linux text console to automatically turn of the monitor after some time? And by "text console" I mean that thing that you get on ctrl+alt+F[1-6], which is what you get whenever X11 is not running. And, no, I'm not using any framebuffer console (it's a plain, good and old 80x25 text-mode). Many years ago, I was using Slackware Linux, and it used to boot up in text-mode. Then you would manually run startx after the login. Anyway, the main login "screen" was the plain text-mode console, and I remember that the monitor used to turn off (energy saving mode, indicated by a blinking LED) after some time. Now I'm using Gentoo, and I have a similar setup.
The machine boots up in text-mode, and only rarely I need to run startx. I say this because this is mostly my personal Linux server, and there is no need to keep X11 running all the time. (which means: I don't want to use GDM/KDM or any other graphical login screen). But now, in this Gentoo text-mode console, the screen goes black after a while, but the monitor does not enter any energy-saving mode (the LED is always lit). Yes, I've waited long enough to verify this. Thus, my question is: how can I configure my current system to behave like the old one? In other words, how to make the text console trigger energy-saving mode of the monitor?
Ubuntu / Apple :: Recovery Mode With Yaboot?
May 18, 2010I'm running 9.04 on a Powerbook G4 and, long story short, I accidentially put it into hibernate mode. When I try to turn it on, I am greeted with a blank screen after the bootloader. Unfortunately I can find no way to get out of this, since I'm using yaboot instead of grub. I can access my yaboot.conf file if I mount the HD from a live CD, but is there something I can put in there to tell it not to try to resume from hibernation? Or would deleting the swap partition at hda4 that apparently contains my hibernation data solve the problem?

Is there any way that I can already auto-load bluetooth and connect to my keyboard before I log in?

Nov 18, 2010I attempted to install Catalyst 10.11 for my ATI HD 2600XT and the system now only displays lines and a large block of pixels where the mouse would go. CTRL-ALT-F1 kills the system and does not provide a command prompt. This is a single installation, not dual-boot, but there is no Press Esc to access the Grub menu during startup so I cannot choose safe mode. I attempted to get into Recovery mode using the flash drive that I used to install the system and it tells me there is no Recovery kernel (I used the 64-bit Desktop installer, not alternative). Does anyone know an alternative to get into the Grub menu other than ESC during bootup? Alternatively, do I need to download the 64-bit Alternative ISO and create a new boot disk with it so I can access Recovery mode? Is there something else I'm not thinking of?

Sep 21, 2010I ordered this USB 802.11n dongle for about $10 and am having problems.I found a firmware related bug (Bug #595455) that keeps it from working out of the box and got around that. I put the right firmware file in the right place and CAN CONNECT TO B or G Access Points.hen I put my AP in N-Only mode, I can see the network, but cannot associate. With the AP in mixed mode I can Associate using G.The most interesting thing I found was something that had very
few google hits (like 4). In the dmesg output after associating I see the message:
Successfully associated, ht not enabled(0, 1)The most interesting thing about this is the (0, 1) at the end.I don't know what that means but it seems like a clue as to what the problem is.This device uses the realtek chipset 8191S, there are conflicting reports on this, but all the reported possibilities seem to use the same driver from realtek (rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.2010 0625).Here is some random info:

Ubuntu Installation :: Install On Usb Key: Live Mode Or Harddisk Mode?
Jan 30, 2010I installed ubuntu 9.10/9.04 on my usb key as live image couple of time. I have trouble when I try to install wine on my usb key. I am wondering what is the difference if I install my ubuntu into my usb key directly? will that be slower compared with live CD mode? I guess live CD mode may use memory as part of harddisk to save temepory files and normal usb linux installation won't do this for me. Is this true?
If so, do I have a choice to point my tmp directory to system memory area?
Ubuntu :: Odd Resolution - Monitor After Switched It To TV Mode Then Back To PC Mode
Feb 8, 2011When I first installed ubuntu 10.10, the display was for some reason tinted green and shifted a few inches to the right. After experimenting with the resolution preferences, I eventually got it to a large resolution (1280x720 ... or something like that) yet is was quite blurry. I found out that the problem was with my monitor after I switched it to TV mode, then back to PC mode. It became perfectly clear! All I had to do then was adjust the screen positioning by shifting it left a bit.
Even though I have made the resolution I figured out to be default, whenever I turn the PC on after shutting down, it goes back to the "green-and-to-the-side" mode. :/ Ain't really a big problem, until I tried to fiddle with the resolution preferences s'more.
Somehow, I have set it to be twice as wide of the maximum my monitor can display, went back to being green tinted for some reason, and is completely shifted left (yet the right side is still visible) This means that I cannot see what is going on the left side, and cannot adjust the resolution preferences, nor can I click blindly cuz the border is only around my visible side of the screen. Now it is stuck like this.
I've researched many hours and eventually found the terminal command for the resolution preferences. it popped up on the visible side. Although it was to no avail cuz I HAVE TRIED EVERY SETTING AND OPTION and absolutely nothing changed. I assume a system restore would simply revert it back to the previous satisfactory settings, but the thing is I want to FIX it. I am new to this terminal stuff, so I want to learn it and all that. To put it simply, here's what I want:
Learn how to manually adjust resolution without depending on a simple dialog box. Make the satisfactory resolution default and consistent through turning it on and off. Link that could teach me the essential commands, all this googling is stressful. D:

View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Emergency Mode Can Mount HDD With FS Error / Not In Rescue Or Single User-mode
Dec 1, 2010My linux workstation recently crashed. After rebooting, Linux (Red Hat 5.3) will not boot properly and automatically went into emergency mode or recovery mode i think. I can still see my /home/user/ and all the files inside.I boot from CD to rescue mode and tried mounting read-only the /dev/sd5 which contains the files in the crashed hard disk to try to copy out my files but mounting was unsuccessful (invalid argument). I checked the filesystem type using fsck -N /dev/sda5 and shows it to ext2. i tried to mount another known working hdd and was successful.
My question is why in emergency mode, the crashed hdd is able to be mounted automatically as read-only but cannot be done in rescue mode thru a bootable CD?Is there any special mount options used in emergency mode?I also cannot copy out in emergency mode booting from the crashed hard disk as everything is read only.
